The Story of Mattoni Water

Heinrich Mattoni worked hard to make the business bigger. He built a modern factory to bottle the water. He also created a way to deliver the water to people visiting the spa. Soon, Mattoni water became very well-known across Europe. By 1910, they were sending 10 million bottles to other countries!
